Does anyone else find it terrifying that the US DOESN'T require any vaccinations to travel in/out of the country?

I thought I had heard that there is a new rapid test being developed that would get results in mere seconds/minutes, but I can't find a link. anyone else hear this?

Some Canadian scientists are perfecting a saliva based test that uses paper test strips and is ready in 20 minutes. I posted a link a couple of weeks ago...

Here it is:

proof of vaccination is required for a variety of diseases the world over. given the limited or no travel most americans engage in it makes sense they would be too fucking ignorant to know this.

Traveling abroad is very expensive. Why does this make them ignorant? Just seems harsh to criticize someone so much and call them ignorant for not engaging in a luxury that most can't afford.  Traveling abroad in Europe is very different and much cheaper than what it costs Americans. 

One doesn't have to have travelled abroad to know that vaccines are required to visit some places. 

If someone is lacking in that knowledge, that means they are ignorant to those facts. That's pretty much the literal definition of the word.

people take "ignorant" too harshly. all it means is "lacking knowledge". it doesn't mean someone is stupid.

It has a negative connotation, and you know it does. You were insulting Americans for not being more traveled.

True, but the response I replied to was criticizing the lack of travel Americans do. Thus my response. 
If one was not trying to be insulting, they wouldn't call someone ignorant. They would say something like "If travel was more affordable to Americans, maybe they would understand more what is expected" and not just call us ignorant for not traveling.

I inferred he was insulting Americans for not being more educated about the rest of the world. 

And he's right. Americans are incredibly ignorant.

Americans are ignorant in a lot of ways, that is true. But don't criticize someone because they are poor.
"given the limited or no travel most americans engage in it makes sense they would be too fucking ignorant"
That is criticizing people because they cant afford to travel to other counties. Say we should take more foreign language classes in school. Say we should be more cultured, I would agree. But to say given our limited travel we are "too fucking ignorant" that is criticizing people for not being able to afford a luxury that the average family can't afford. "Too fucking ignorant" is not just saying a lack of knowledge. IUts people people down. You know it. He knows it.

NYC offers Mets and Yankees tix if you get vaxed!

NYC is also offering the shot to travelers from abroad.

The city is paying for baseball tickets?  That's gotta be brought up by Tucker, right? If that's not socialism, I don't know what is.

The city is paying for ball tix and for travelers to come and get vaxed.  It's a huge promotion here in NY.

It's ok to admit Americans are too fucking ignorant about the rest of the world. It's also no surprise considering how ignorant we are about our own country's history. 

No one's criticizing poor people.

Good ideas.  I see more of this happening to get people vaxed.  I'm holding out for the Hawaii trip.

Ontario remains locked down until June 2nd.  Schools will remain virtual until the labour unions and public health reach a consensus to open schools…I doubt schools open till September…we will see.
